The Human Figure: An Anatomy for Artists

when ever i have to draw, i always take this book out. its so helpful its amazing

Clear drawings, well-written, relatively simple text, easy to follow. Especially good for beginners in anatomy to augment Hale/Richer's Artistic Anatomy (the text of which is more complex and harder to follow) and, for ecorche, Goldfinger's Human Anatomy for Artists.

A great book, lots of example and views about adult human. i used it for 3d work.

I teach figure drawing and this guide has been most helpful. Great visual learning guide to the human body and excellent illustrations including baby, and old guy. I use this book more than any other.

this is a great book. i was first introduced to this book when i took a sculpting class in college and throughout art school, this is still my favorite anatomy book. Rubins spells out the muscule mass' in direct almost simplified ways that makes it very understandable and easy to grasp. each area is broken down into front side and back views and even includes a page at the end of each chapter that shows the bodypart of discussion in various poses. fundamentally this is the best book i've run into. i recommend it highly if you want an easy guide to the understanding of human anatomy.
